Esa. Ia Recall Names.

c. NJ. E., Philadelphia For twenty
years | have used simple but effect
i've plan Of recalling to mind the name
Of a person town, a vessel, etc, and
thinking it might be useful to the
readers of the " Helping Hand" | will
describe my mode ofdoing it.
If have forgotten the name Of a
person | start ut the letter \ and
dwell for a short time upon each let
ter Of the alphabet until | reach the
letter with which the name be gins,
when i'll an instant it will come 10
memory. For instance, | knew person
by the name of Wilson and had not
seen him for many years. We met,
and his face looked familiar, but |
could not recall his name. To do so
! started at the beginning of the al
phabct, and as ! have said slowly
dwelt on each letter il turn, and tie
moment | came to w the name came
to my memory. 1t is the same with
towns, streets, etc. If any reader
doubts the efficacy Of this plan let
him give it trial.

The Dear Ola Lady.

LONDON, May 24.-Great Britain is
en- fete to-day in honor of Queen Vic
toria's sixty-eighth birthday. Bust
ness is almost entirely suspended
throughout the United Kingdom Flags
are flying in all directions, the mem
bers of the municipal corporations are
jubilating, school children and in
mates of warehouses are being feasted
and otherwise entertained, and the day
is being more generally observed on
a more extensive scale than during any
year since her majesty's accession to
the throne. The queen herself sur
rounded by her children, grandchild-
rem, great grandchildren, and repre-
scntatives Of the many royal families
with which she is connected by blood
and marriage is quietly celebrating
the day at Windsor castle. The
booming of cannon, followed by a
merry peal from the bells of the parish
church awoke the royal sleepers at
dawn, and after breakfast the royal
family attended divine services IN the
the chapel attached to the castle.
Numerous Geographic congratulations
from Paris, Berlin, Madrid and other
points on the continent were received
during the morning.

The Sailuia Ashore
From the Duluth News

From the Duluth News.
The steamer II. Chisholm arrived
down at Sault Ste Marie Sunday
afternoon, and reported the steamer
Wallula ashore on Pancake Shoal,
Lake Superior. She lies in an ex-
tremely exposed position, and is likely
to sustain much damage ii the threat
ening storm develops. Captain Stone
is unable to determine whether or not
the Wallula's consorts, the NJ. f..
Trcmble and Wadena are ashore.
The Wallula is ore-laden and bound
from Two Ilarbors to Cleveland. She
is owned by Thomas Wilson. Of Ceve-
land, and IS valued at 511O00D Pan
cake Shoal is in Canadian waters, ID
miles northeast of Whitelish point.
Owing to stringent Canadian wreck
/ ing laws assistance cannot be sent from
here, nor can American steamers rem
der any aid without being subject to a
severe penalty.
Is it not remarkable, as well as dis
graceful, that two nations like the
United States and Great Britain
should tolerate such an absurd and
wicked law?

It's Name il Superior.

1t is peculiarly fortunate that the
town at the head of Lake Superior,
and therefore, of the whole vast chain
Of lakes and system of navigation, has
long held sole title to the name of
/ SUPERIOR. This euphonious and dig
nifed name is Il possession not to be
lightly priced Some doomed hamlet
on the rocks or sand hills along the
Lake, in Wisconsin might have pre-
empted" it, and made it impossible as
a name here, void of the postal diff
calties in such cases. But for gen
Grafton, this place has gloried in the
name, 50 appropriate to the city that
shall command the Ultima TBuie cut
most point) of this grand inland sea.
Shall this valuable acquisition now be
rejected, or frittered away by modifi-
cations, such as "Westn New" etc?
Every effort to prefix such words to
SUPERIOR, only proves that the old
stately name is the proper one. 1t
has won its right by nearly forty years
of usuage and precedent. All the
disguises of prejudice are too thin.
Men who are favored, in the order of
Providence, with being the founders of
e. Il /
motives Of mere prejudice. Moreover,
such men have no right to foist upon
coming thousands of citizens the irk
some employment, in every business
transaction OF Il long senseless and
grating name, West Superior! West
of what? New Superior Newer than
what? Than Superior, is the only an
swer. Away with trifling in serious
affairs. Honest men will soon be
ashamed Of the narrowness that caus-
ed them to reject or mutiIate a grand,
appropriate, and beautiful name, sim
ply to throw club ut Il community
that long struggled against adverse des-
tiny to hold and build up this impor-
tant point. 1t is too thin, Mr. Editor,
and the sober sense Of people now, or
hereafter composing the city of
SUPERIOR, will scout the meaningless
West or New" ana petition to be
called by the name which nature,
Providence, history and noble pioneers
have given.

The town of Tower on the Yer
million iron range came near being
deYoured by the timber fire last Satur-
day. \ thunder shower came up Sat
urdly evening and rendered invaluable
service in staying the devouring flame.
y dispatch Of Sunday says:
All danger is practically past,
and unless the wind should veer into
the west, Tower is safe from the de-
struction threatened by the the terrible
fires which have surrounded her for
the past three days. No pen can
describe the situation here as it has
existed for several days. The dense
forests surrounding the village haye
been one vast flame Of fire, and the
fierce, hot winds have carried from the
roaring flames great sparks which
started new fires in every direction.
All day Friday the fire ragged, and the
village was in imminent danger of
destruction. Every man in the yil-
village turned out and worked with Il
will to stay the destroying monster.
At the " location " Capt. Morcom,
with thirteen hundred men, fought
with desperation against the awful
element, and at one time, when the
danger over at Tower seemed greater
than at the mines, he sent three hun
dred of his faithful helpers to the vii
lage in response to the Macedonian
cry. Yesterday it seemed impossible
to save Tower and help WAS asked
from Duluth.
The thundr's roar never sounded
sweeter to mortal ears than to the
the wearied and worn people OF Tower
last evening, and when the great drops
Of rain began falling, and gave pro-
mise Of safety and rest, their gratitude
knew no bounds. The rain did not
succeed in entirely quenching the
flames, but it stopped their spread,
Just at u most critical moment.

Sunday afternoon says the Duluth
News of Monday, sail boat contain
ing a party Of Swedes or Norwcgians,
consisting Of eight men two women, a
baby and dog, capsized off the Ohio
dock, nearly midway out in the bay.
Capt. Curtiss of the fire tug Sutton,
heard their screams and hurried to the
rescue. The boat had tipped oyer half
way with the sails spread out in the
water, the men hanging on to the sides
and sails, the two women sitting on the
side Of the boat, up to their shoulders
in water The captain Of the Sutton
threw out line to draw them near,
when two sailors came up with yawl,
into which the badly frightened ex-
cursion party was taken and rowed to
the shore. The baby which one of the
women held above water, was smiling
good-naturedly during the whole adj
venture. The men had evidently been
drinking and seemed perfectly help
less. The dog alone seemed to take
in the situation when the tug arrived
it left the capsized boat Immediately
and SWAN to the tug, where it was
pulled up by the engineer. The names
of the parties could not be learned.

Make the EOafers Work

The following from the Ashland
Press is SO applicable to this town,
that the alteration of phraseology is
unnecessary:
The tramp nuisance is becoming a
leading topic among our citizens. The
bold and brazen gall which they daily
exhibit is growing beyond all forbear-
ance. They cannot offer the excuse
of no work, as there is now larger
demand for laborers in the city than
can be supplied. II is simply because
they are too lazy to work and expect
the city to support them. Why can
not these idle Migrants be utilized At
doing something for their support?
Chapter 40, section 2, of the SEES
sion laws OF 1877. as published last
week in the Press, provides that
ANY person convicted of being tramp shall
be punished by imprisonment at hard labor in
the county Jail not exceeding three months or by
imprisonment In such jail in solitary Contle
ment not exceeding len days nor less that three
days"
Part Of section 4 will also apply to
a number of our visitors, who have
been holding high carnival during the
past week.
Any vagrant or tramp who shall wantonly or
maliciOusIy. by means OF violence threats or
I+iI nj n
who shall kiua!C any fire on any highway or
on The Lard of au..her within thfS state without
the consent of the owner or occupant of such
laHd, . ; 3" Thereof, be punished hy i'm
ptispnmcnt in the county jail at hard labor not
exceeding three months or by imprisonment in
Nue!t jan III sutltHEy confinement not exceeding
ten days and not less than three days"
From this 1t will be seen that hard
labor is the first punishment named
Further on in the chapter, section 10
explains the matter more explicitly
1t provides for the payment Of the Off
Ger haYing the prisoner in charge. The
only objection to this clause is the
meager compensation provided, as it is
even less than the wages of the com
nun llDOItI.
1T shall be the duty of the sheriff or keeper Of
any common Jail e. Keep all persons sentenced 10
I imprisonment ut hard labor IN such Jail under
this act, az work according 10 law doing such
work as the county board may provide and IN
ease none i provided. then upon highways or
other pubic Improvements, ami such sheriff or
keeper is hereby authorized "a appoint ur tail
any deputy or other police lIiiycr to guard such
prisoners and keep them at work. ANY officer
having SHcE prisoners in charge while at labor
rs provided III this 81 ii b shall receive one dol
Ia" and titty cents Ger day and Scycnly-tite cents
for caca half day 50 employed 10 be paid by the
county
The object Of the law is very clearly
set forth, and we fancy few days at
hard work would materially thin the
ranks Of the sheriff. summer boarders.
] They are a nuisance and the stern
clutches of the law should be placed
upon their respective coat collars and
pantaloon bosoms and they made
either to work or make themselves
scarce Immediately. This climate
don't agree with drones.

Wednesday morning:
The rise in value of West Superior
real estate is shown by an important
transfer made yesterday of diagram
lot 113, sold something oyer two years
ago to Willis Brainerd, formerly a
resident at Superior, now a resident of
Fairbury, Neb. This lot Of five acres
and one-fourth interest in another

Somebody writing from this side
Of the bay to the DuIuth Saturday
evening Journal thus discourses upon
the question of a water supply:
The matter of providing a sufficient
water supply, especially for the west
end is one ofincreasing interest. There
is talk of reYiving a special charter,
granted by the Legislature some years
ago; and the movers in this scheme
haye proposed to take the water sup
ply from the St. Louis river or one of
It's tributaries, holding that the river
water can be freed from vegetable in
fusions and cleared of color by fltra-
ton and settling in reservoirs. But |
can propose and recommend a better
plan and source of supply-the arte-
sian we'll system-in successful use on
Long Island The numerous town
wells dug in old Superior demonstrate
that at Il depth Of 22O feet, under
nearly all this plain, there is an album
dant supply of pure water. My plan,
then, would be to take about one
plated block of land, to begin with,
on which | would sink 300 to $50
artisan wells, with tubes connected at
the top, and cross connecting tube
passing through the pump house, so
that one steam pump would draw
water from all the wells, and
force it into the mains, for delivery 10
consumers at pressure automatically
regulated at the pump house. Such
plant, exclusive of mains, hydrants
and house connections could be put in,
with good brick engine house, and
thorough appointments and appliances
for not exceeding $4,000. That 1t
would answer every purpose of water
supply, and give the best of water in
quantity sufficient for city OF 25,0O0
inhabitants, there can be no doubt.
And it has one other important ad-
vantage, in that this plant can be put
in this summer and be put in operat-
ion long before winter sets in.

"A prominent official of the Bur-
lington u Northern Railway stated to
a citizen of Star Prairie that his road
would do no building on the propos d
route through this place to Superior
this year, although he minated
strongly that the road would be built
some time in the near future. One
thing is evident, whatever may be
the plans of the company they intend
to move quietly at present, and are
not ready to make any official an
nouncement of their line of action.
From what can be gathered from out
side sources, however, we are Inclined
to believe that there will not be any
delay in the work of construction.
Certainly our city has a bright out

OBT OF DYNAMITE.
Blasting on the Town Farm Stopped For a Few Days-Work Done by th< Board of Selectmen Last Night.

Blasting on the Town Farm Stopped
 For Few Days-Work Done by the
 Board of Selectmen Last Night.
 At meeting of the board of selectmen last night the following bills were passed: Construction s191.04, almshouse s1,610.01, outside poor $484 roads and bridges $210, springside farm $29s 40, new almshouse $51.41.
 It was reported that blasting on the new town farm had been stopped for a few days owing to the inability to get dynamite when wanted. Dynamite has to be handled very cautiously, and as the weather is bad for it's travel the market is low.
 A committee reported that it had investi- gated the case of Joseph H. Coates, an in- mate of the slmshouse who had complained that he had been sent to work when i'll. It was found that he was well and strong and perfectly able to work, and that he was try ing to shirk his duty.
 Seleetmen Reynolds, White and Feldman were appointed committee to confer with the board of public works on the 18th inst. to consider about new park on the town farm.
